I just finished your review of the EBCO and now this . I am 70 years old 5’5” 160 lb and have ridden dirt bikes forever but am looking for a lighter bike with great suspension. I have a Yamaha xt225 (240 lb) and an Ariel Ryder X class e-bike with F&R suspension. The Yamaha is far superior to a factor of 10 as far as suspension. All my riding is off road with steep hills and sand dunes . Have you ridden dual purpose motorcycles? How would you compare the ride?
I enjoyed the off-road review. Some say it is silent but it is quiet but not silent.

How would you compare the ride? One other thing that bothers me about “E” motorcycles is the battery replacement cost being at least 1/2 the cost of a new bike and 1 or 2 years of warranty.
Amazing how quickly you can do that. I mean most it would take hours. You do it in a couple minutes. That machine while small is like a scalpel on high. lol Nice work.
Bro! If u “go all in on a super rugged off road model” as u put it (which is out there). You wouldn’t be paying $999. To put that out there as if the manufacturer didn’t think of that in your expert opinion… means you forgot that you r reviewing a scooter that only $1k as opposed to the $4k that has everything u wish this one had. This is an awesome scooter with all its “plastic“ for the price. 👎🏻
one of the poorest customer service or communication company i ever saw. phone numbers useless, e-mail useless. i will likely pass even though i loved it.
The seat is NOT 21" high. It's 34" high. It's also absurd that a single 1,000 watt motor could barely get you up a hill. 1000W should have been more than enough to do that which makes me question the actual nominal/peak power of the rear motor. ALSO stupid that there are passenger footpegs with a tiny single seat that can't be upgraded. Finally, it's idiotic that they cheaped out with 2 piston brakes when they should be 4 pistons for a bike like this.
I own this bike. Stupid that they give you rear foot pegs but a short seat so you can’t have a passenger. They used to sell a longer seat but stopped in 2022. I bought a long seat on eBay. Now I can sit back more for comfort. This bike gets flats very easily. I just started having heavy rear motor vibration below 23 mph, then it runs smooth above 23 mph.
I got this scooter a bit before this video came out. I'm a college student, and it's a 3-mile ride from my apartment to campus. This scooter is awesome for getting around. I've already put 150 miles on it in just one semester.
Every video I see of this makes me think it's not worth the $5000 it costs, UNLESS you are using it as a "farm bike" like they do in NZ where they made this and even then - it should have 50% more power at least. A mid-drive bike with 750 watts will have close to this total power, plus they have pedals so you aren't 100% illegal on a trail like this vehicle is.
Can somebody drop a vid how to adjust the brakes cuz like they rubbing tight as hell lol n I think I done stripped this hex bolt smh trying loosen this caliper with the tools giving, besides that scooter is A1
I got mine today, and was worried about all the play in the handlebars, but you can take that retracting sleeve bit on the folding handlebars and give it a half twist and it'll tighten up pretty solid. It's not a threaded screw, but more like a cam mechanism you can completely rotate either way. Between that and tightening the handlebar adjustment clamp, you can get the steering pretty tight.
@@atys2346 I'm really happy with it. You can't beat the price. It costs half of anything else in its class, and costs less than smaller city commuter scooters. It tops out at 35mph, but that's a pretty _rational_ top speed. One reviewer said it has LG cells. I'm not going to cut open the pack to confirm that, but that's a big plus if true. I was wrong about the handlebars, after some riding there's a little bit of play you can't tighten away, but it's just a tiny bit, and doesn't have *any* affect on control. It's essentially the same as the Solar P1 pro, Nanrobot D4+, and YUME Y10, but with different front suspension, small differences in motor power and battery capacity, and half the price. I often have second thoughts on big purchases, but not with this.
@@atys2346 _(To clarify, It's the handlebar grip folding mechanism that has some play, not the folding stem or height adjustment, and when you're riding you're pushing downward on the handles, so that mostly cancels the effect. You can tighten the adjusting-height stem and the folding-for-storage mechanism so it's rock solid, there's no play in steering, and it's not going to fold on you while you're riding)_
@@atys2346 Awesome, YW,. I hope it goes smooth and you're happy with it. You might try their site first, as it's 60 bucks cheaper there. When I tried it, the payment system wasn't working, so I had to go to that _prime_ place with the big blue trucks. Let me know if there's anything specific you want to see, I could put up a video.
Got mine today, tires say tubeless. I don't know how to identify by stem or anything, but they say tubeless. They're pretty deeply discounted now, looks like they're going out of business or something. Paypal wouldn't work on their site, had to buy on Amz.
This really doesn’t blur the lines when there are no pedals. That you mention you would get pulled over right away means you agree. What they should do about the front wheel spin is to match up the front to rear power distribution with the front to rear wheel tire weight distribution based on the geometry. Currently all two wheel e-bikes have this problem because no one does it. As an example: a 1000W motor in the rear with a 750 up front will take care of this problem.
Dang that is a somewhat reasonable price for the performance it claims to offer. Like you said though, longevity may not be up there with other more reputable models.
I agree that it is insane not to have a battery indicator light. Do we use our main expensive phone on the handlebars to get damaged by the first wreck or low hanging branch - think not. So must carry somewhat disposable phone and a protected main phone???
Hey btw how is it offroad with those tires? I'm thinking of getting blade gt 2 with same wheels u have. Only problem is i cant find hybrid tires to match the size, thats why u ask. 🤔
Dude I have an ecell ebike it has two motors two batteries 🔋 and I am 190 lbs the bike will do 13 to 14 miles per hour up steep hills and I mean steep hill. 31 to 32 miles per hour on flat ground. The bike is heavy about 95 lbs with out all the bags that come with it, but you see I have tire liners, no flat liquid in the tires all the bells 🔔 and whistles on the handlebars and a GPS hidden on the bike and then I have all the needed high level tools with an extra tube tool to repair anything on the bike, that pushes the weight up probably 40 lbs, I even ordered and spare controller because when you have problems that is the first thing to go out and it take most supplier’s about 6 months to send you another one and trust me it will go out when you lest expect it, but it will give you a warning that it is having problems so take those warnings to heart park it and order you another one. They cost about $127 dollars. Have fun 🤩 I am as old as dirt, but that’s what us old guys do with are 401k money 💴 we buy expensive Ebike and ride like the wind 🌬️ just for the exercise and a chance to get out of the house.
